  "U.S. President Donald Trump touted the operation as an urgent crime-fighting effort, targeting violent illegal immigrants. But the upheaval disrupted the regular work of the federal authorities charged with protecting public safety, according to the records and interviews with 10 current and former officials from state and federal law enforcement agencies." The damage to my city from the Trumpites will last a long time. https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/how-trumps-minne...

  "For reasons he said were “inexplicable,” Howard Lutnick acknowledged visiting Jeffrey Epstein’s island seven years after he claimed to have severed his relationship with the convicted sex offender, according to lawmakers present for the Commerce Secretary’s closed-door testimony Wednesday." A lie is lie. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/05/06/howard-lutnick-commerce-epstein-00908865

  The Democrats *STILL* have not learned their lessons in the last 10 years. As a result, it is growing more and more unlikely they will take the house or the Senate this year. These incompetent and feckless bafoons have had 2 years to create a message. And all they came up with "We are anti-Trump". It is dispiriting. Here's the advice: Democrats need to win elections. They need to appeal to Americans. It's just not happening right now. https://apnews.com/ar...

  @HopelessDemigod I also think it makes sense. If your sense of self worth suddenly and dramatically improves, I’m quite sure it drives many changes in your life. We live in weird times.

  WTF New York Times? WTF? It seems like they are trying to anger me every day with frivolous garbage.

  This story is so awful. The White House's comment is: “Being in detention is a choice." Remember when the president and Republicans told you they were the party of families and also only targeting hardened criminals for deportation? Read this story. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5819206-us-soldier-wife-deportation-louisiana-military-base/ #iceout #dhs #army

  "[24] states give citizens the constitutional right to sponsor initiatives. Last year, legislatures in those states passed 51 bills restricting citizen ballot measures, according to the Fairness Project, which supports progressive initiatives. Between 2018 and 2023 they had passed, on average, 34 restrictive bills a year." 100% of the legislatures that passed bills restricting ballot measures were controlled by Republicans. Think about it. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/08/u...

  How many people who have studied JD Vance’s “career” really expected him to make any progress? At this Super Bowl, it’s Iran 1, JD Vance 0. #loser https://www.axios.com/2026/04/10/vance-iran-talks-pakistan #JDVance #trump #iranwar #trumpflation

  "Accordingly, President Trump's conclusory allegation that Defendants had contradictory evidence and failed to investigate is rebutted by the Article and is insufficient to establish actual malice." Friendly reminder: Trump wrote a special note to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday book. And Melania does not get a pass. https://www.axios.com/2026/04/13/trump-lawsuit-wsj-dismissed #trump #esptein #maxwell #friends #melania

  "On Monday, local law enforcement officials announced that they were weighing whether federal agents should face criminal charges, including kidnapping, burglary and false imprisonment, over the detention of Mr. Thao on Jan. 18." This absolutely should go forward as a case. And we need to prosecute Jonathan Ross. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/us/ice-minnesota-arrest-immigration-investigation.html?unlocked_article_code=1.a1A.1A4h.R09HkPMoXFuS&smid=url-share #iceo...

  I love Dave Chappelle and I am a supporter of NPR (specifically Minnesota Public Radio). This interview is well worth your time. And it's great that Dave Chappelle is an NPR supporter. That said, the virtue signaling of some of the hosts drives me batty. https://youtu.be/3zEbK4VPNO8?si=nKlPks0fh2nNT7Y7 #npr #mpr #publicradio

  I would argue that Clarence Thomas - long term - has done more to help liberals than any other justice in American history. From overturning Roe - which essentially guaranteed abortion access to much of the population by enshrining rights in state constitutions to revisiting precedents which then hands the left opportunities to revisit "settled law" (such as Citizens United). Is he a good and smart person? Mmmm. I don't know. https://thehill.com/regulation/court-batt...

  On the campaign trail, Trump vowed that a manufacturing revival would "happen fast and beautifully," and when he imposed sweeping tariffs on U.S. trading partners last ​April he predicted they would make factories "come roaring back." But a tariff on Chinese-made brass instruments -- currently at 20.4% -- has not deterred Conn Selmer, which is following rivals that ​shifted production to China years ago ⁠to cut labor costs. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/tr...

  “No one knows what we stand for anymore except that we loathe Trump with every bone in our bodies,” the consultant added. “That’s not lost on anyone. But what else?” I’m glad someone else recognized what I have been saying for 2 years: Democrats have not learned their lesson after losing all the chambers and being against Trump is not a long-term strategy. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5846189-democrats-trump-redistricting-midterms-economy/ #trump #Democrat #midterms #Strategy

  @jmcunx @GossiTheDog I tried a de-Googled Android by buying a Nextbit Robin and installing LineageOS (about 10 years ago). The OS installation wasn’t that bad, Lineage was great, but the open source software (I’m looking at you F-Droid) at the time was absolute trash. Beyond trash - it was ugly and unusable. The best path forward if you want privacy is to get an iPhone and then turn off all the AI on the phone. I’m sure the situation is better now, but not for mainstream people.
